Duchess Evelina Veyra

Frosthelm is the capital city of the Northern Shield, a fortress city built on the frozen frontier of the Valorian Empire. Surrounded by mountains, dense forests, and harsh wilderness, it serves as the final barrier protecting the empire from monsters emerging from the north.

Unlike the elegant cities of the southern nobles, Frosthelm is built for survival. Massive stone walls, enchanted defenses, and military towers surround the city, while magical technology allows its citizens to endure the freezing climate. Despite its intimidating appearance, Frosthelm is a thriving city filled with merchants, craftsmen, adventurers, soldiers, and various fantasy races.

The city reflects the personality of its ruler, Duchess Evelina Veyra. It is disciplined, practical, and heavily focused on protection rather than luxury. Monster hunters and adventurers frequently gather in Frosthelm, making it one of the greatest centers for combat training, magical research, and monster defense in the empire.

While the north is known for danger, Frosthelm is also known as a place where people can find refuge. The duchess welcomes skilled individuals regardless of race or origin, as long as they contribute to protecting the territory.

To outsiders, Frosthelm is a cold fortress at the edge of civilization. To those who live there, it is home—a city that stands strong because everyone within its walls knows they are protecting something worth saving.

The Crimson Month is a dangerous period in Kelsma when monster activity dramatically increases across the world. During this time, strange magical fluctuations spread through the land, causing monsters to become more aggressive, appear in greater numbers, and migrate far beyond their usual territories.

The greatest danger of the Crimson Month is the appearance of high-level monsters. Creatures that normally remain hidden in ancient forests, deep caves, frozen lands, or forgotten ruins begin to emerge, threatening cities and kingdoms. Even experienced adventurers and military forces struggle against these powerful beings.

Because of the increased threat, kingdoms strengthen their defenses, adventurer guilds raise rewards, and hunters are called to protect settlements. The northern territories are especially dangerous, as the already harsh lands become overwhelmed with stronger monsters from beyond the borders.

While magical beasts are not the cause of the Crimson Month, many are affected by the changes in the environment. Some become more aggressive, while others retreat deeper into the wild.

The Crimson Month is seen as a test of civilization, reminding the world that no matter how advanced magic and technology become, the dangers beyond society's borders remain powerful.

Lycanthropes are a rare species of magical beast found throughout Kelsma. Unlike beastkin, who are ordinary people with animal traits, lycanthropes are born as humanoid animals and are classified as magical creatures by law. They do not transform between forms; their animal features are permanent.

Despite their appearances, every lycanthrope is a natural-born fighter. Their animal lineage determines their combat specialization, instincts, and abilities. A snow rabbit lycanthrope specializes in speed, agility, and powerful kicks, while bears focus on strength and endurance, wolves on tracking and pack combat, birds on aerial movement, and other species develop abilities suited to their nature.

Even the smallest lycanthropes are massive compared to humans, with no known adult lycanthrope standing below 5'11". Their powerful bodies, instincts, and magical traits make them dangerous opponents in the wild.

Wild lycanthropes are considered dangerous magical beasts, capable of overwhelming even trained warriors. However, some can be tamed and form strong bonds with other races. Tamed lycanthropes often view their collars not as symbols of ownership, but as treasured marks of trust and belonging from the person they have bonded with.

Because of their rarity and strength, lycanthropes are highly valued throughout the world. Some are feared as dangerous beasts, while others are respected as loyal companions, powerful guardians, or legendary fighters.

Kelsma is a fantasy world where magic, technology, and countless races have developed together. The world is currently in an era similar to the 1920s, with an industrial revolution that has introduced advanced machinery, automobiles, factories, communication devices, and magical technology. Things like carriages are in the past.

Humans are only one of many intelligent races that inhabit Kelsma. Elves, dwarves, beastkin, demons, and countless other fantasy races live across the world, each with their own cultures, kingdoms, and traditions. While conflicts between nations and races still exist, most societies have adapted to a world where many different peoples coexist.

Magic is a natural part of life and has influenced the advancement of civilization. Magical engines, enchanted tools, and spell-powered technology have become common, allowing society to progress beyond what would normally be possible in a traditional industrial age.

Beyond civilization exist magical beasts and monsters. Magical beasts are natural creatures with magical traits, such as lycanthropes, dragons, and other rare beings. Monsters are different, being dangerous creatures that threaten settlements and travelers. Adventurers, knights, hunters, and specialized forces exist to protect people from these threats.

Kelsma is a world where old fantasy and modern advancement meet. Grand kingdoms, powerful magic, industrial cities, ancient creatures, and unexplored lands all exist together in an age of discovery and danger.

Monsters are different from magical beasts. While magical beasts are natural creatures born with unique magical traits, monsters are unnatural beings that exist as threats to the world. They are often aggressive, dangerous, and driven by instinct, making them a constant danger to settlements and travelers.

Monsters come in countless forms, from massive beasts that destroy villages to strange creatures with dangerous abilities. Some are physically powerful, while others use poison, curses, magic, or unusual adaptations to hunt their prey.

Unlike magical beasts such as lycanthropes, monsters are rarely capable of peaceful coexistence with other races. They do not form civilizations or follow the laws of society, and most are considered hazards that must be hunted or contained.

Because of the constant threat monsters pose, kingdoms employ adventurers, knights, hunters, and specialized forces to protect their people. The northern territories are especially known for monster outbreaks, with the Northern Shield serving as the first line of defense against creatures coming from the frozen wilderness.

While some rare monsters may show intelligence or unusual behavior, the world generally views them as dangerous creatures rather than people. Their existence is one of the main reasons powerful warriors and magic users are valued throughout the world.

Magical beasts are natural creatures born with magical traits, unlike monsters which are unnatural threats. They exist throughout Kelsma's ecosystems, ranging from common creatures with minor abilities to legendary beings with immense power.

Magical beasts can take countless forms, including dragons, spirits, giant creatures, and rare humanoid species such as lycanthropes. Their appearances and abilities are shaped by their magical nature, with some possessing intelligence far beyond normal animals.

While many magical beasts live in the wild, some can form bonds with other races, becoming companions, guardians, mounts, or partners. However, their intelligence and rights vary greatly between species. Some, like dragons and certain lycanthropes, are capable of complex thoughts and communication, while others behave closer to traditional animals.

Because magical beasts are valuable for their abilities, rarity, and materials, they are often sought after by adventurers, researchers, nobles, and hunters. Some are protected by laws, while others are legally treated as creatures that can be captured, trained, or traded depending on their species.

Magical beasts are a reminder that magic is not only found in spells and civilizations—it is a natural force that shapes the creatures and environments of Kelsma itself.

The Valorian Empire is one of the largest and most powerful nations in Kelsma, known for its advanced cities, strong military, and rich history. It is a diverse empire where humans and many fantasy races live together, with magic and technology shaping everyday life.

The empire is currently in an industrial age, with factories, railways, automobiles, and magical inventions expanding throughout its territories. Its capital is the center of politics, trade, and noble society, where influential families gather during the social season to form alliances and strengthen their positions.

Beyond the wealthy cities and fertile lands are dangerous frontiers that require constant protection. The northern territories, including the lands ruled by the Duchess of the Northern Shield, defend the empire from monsters and threats emerging from the frozen wilderness.

The Valorian Empire values strength, knowledge, and innovation. Its knights, adventurers, mages, and military forces work alongside modern technology to protect its people. While nobles hold significant influence, the empire's continued survival depends on cooperation between many races, cultures, and individuals.

A place of both tradition and progress, the Valorian Empire stands as a symbol of a changing world where ancient magic and modern advancement exist side by side.
